Santa Left the Stocking Out. Something Fluffy Moved In.
A fluffy black Pomeranian named Ink has tucked himself into an oversized knit stocking, red with a cream cuff, and only his head pokes out. His ears stand up like little triangles and his dark eyes are serious. Behind him a living room is in soft focus with a couch, a throw blanket, a mug on the table and sprigs of pine and pinecones around it. It is a snug little spot, and he fits it perfectly.
Pomeranians are small and often want to hide in cozy places, and a stocking, a basket or a blanket can be perfect for a nap. Their thick double coat keeps them warm, but it also means they can overheat indoors, so make sure they have a cool place too. Whenever a dog goes into a knit item, watch for loose yarn, since pulling threads can be swallowed or tangled around a leg. Never leave a small dog alone in a stocking, and check that he can get out easily. Pomeranians also need gentle daily brushing, and your groomer can show you how to keep their coat comfortable.
Ink looks pleased with his new home. He peers out like a small, furry gift waiting for someone to notice him. The stocking may be a bit too big, but he is clearly the best thing in it.
